t- 15 hours or so

Our title company won’t make an appointment to sign papers until they have the loan docs.

The loan company promised they’d be there by 5.  OREGON TIME!

Bastards! Our title company closes at 4 Oregon time!

So our Realtor will call us first thing in the morning with the time to sign.

The other Realtor says as long as it’s signed, even if it doesn’t fund tomorrow, that we still get the keys.

WEEE!

Our Realtor kept apologizing but it’s not like it’s in his hands.

I told him to go home and have a beer.  He deserves one.

Another thing on my list!

I tasted cake on Tuesday.  I have to say, I had high expectations going into the cake tasting because whenever I said “Greg Marsh” everyone said “YUM!”

I was not disapointed. I was BLOWN AWAY.

Not only are his cakes beautiful- they are mouthwateringly scruptious! I want to eat more cake!

So

Top tier : Madagascar Vanilla cake with Raspberry filling! (my favorite!)

2nd tier: Dark Chocolate cake with Bavarian cream filling!

3rd tier: Chocolate chip espresso cake with chocolate mousse filling!

Bottom: Madagascar Vanilla with Raspberry filling!

YUM!

I haven’t heard from our loan officer since Monday?

I’m guessing this is good news and we are on track to close on Friday morning!?!

ROLLERCOASTER!

I’d say we are 90% packed up, not counting the kitchen :)

This weekend we were evil

We went camping.

It was AWESOME.

I was tired, and while I’m still tired, and still stressed, I feel like I can handle this week!

The things they never tell you about buying a house….

My loan officer and I were discussin closing costs, because the difference between 1800 and 3000 is QUITE SIGNIFICANT.

And since I make a joke of everything I asked him to get as close as he could to the amount “So I know how much to sell my child for.”

He didn’t think that was funny, but I was totally kidding!  He called back with an amount an hour later though, so all was well :)

Compatability

Brian and I both think eggs that are runny are an abomination.  This is one of the many reasons that we belong together.

Runny eggs, BLECK!

All I asked for was a fricken rotating chair!

ACTUALLY, I really want an attachment for a garden hose- you know, that looks like a gun, and sprays water?  And has like 10 different settings?

WHAT ARE THOSE CALLED? Because my Mother in Law and Sister in law are throwing me some sort of bridal shower but its a secret but Martha kindof told me I should set up a registry on Lowes, which I did and all I want to add to it are FRICKING sprinklers and a Water Sprayer type thing and I CAN’T FIND THEM!

The joys of buying a house

So we found out Monday that to qualify for the special Idaho loan thing we were doing that we BOTH had to take a 4 day class-NEXT WEEK! Which would have put off closing for another week or two.  Luckily they offer an online class- for 40 dollars more per person.

We bit the bullet (I did, anyway) and took the online class.  It was actually informative, but a bit too late for us!  I wrote down the answers to all the quizzes (which you could do multiple times until you got it right- I missed one once when I hit enter before I was ready:)) So last night, when Brian was turning in a final, Brian took the class.  It took him about ten minutes,and guess what!  He passed too!  When he got home, I told him he’d passed and he was proud of himself.  He’s such a good student, he doesn’t even have to be present for tests!

Still on track to close on the 22nd, unless they throw anything ELSE at us… :)

MOVING!

It’s finals week and Brian has mucho work to do, many papers to write, and his computer broke.

So he’s using mine, (which is actually ours, as the broken one is also ours)  Which means until he’s done writing his 2 final papers I’m in the land of NO COMPUTER AT HOME.  Which is fine because I’m actually packing.

For the move.

Which will, in theory, be starting to take place NEXT FRIDAY!

I told our realtor that I was taking a packed box, and the very moment I had keys I was driving over and PUTTING MY BOX OF STUFF IN MY HOUSE!  He laughs at me all the time, I think he thinks I’m mildly crazy but nice!  (He is actually married to Brian’s sister so in two months time he’ll be my brother in law!)

I’m beyond excited, I have to say :) !

After work, I plan on picking up Emma from school, picking up chinese takeout, and meeting Brian for a massive WEED PULLING OPERATION!

In other news:

I have bridal shoes. It took 5 hours. It was not fun.  But they are pretty and I love them and the are comfortable.

I am doing a cake tasting on the 19th!  I LOVE CAKE!

I meet the pastor to start hammering out the ceremony which at this point will run about 5 minutes INCLUDING processional and recessional. Everyone tells me this is really short and REALLY OK.  I feel like it’s too short.

Anyway!

I hope you had a Happy Mothers Day, celebrating the mothers around you, in your life.
